There is a saying among the elves of Taltos: "Chaff burns, and steel burnishes." Selwyn and her fellow Captains have been burnished bright, forged by resolve and quenched in blood. A veteran of many conflicts, Selwyn is a longtime comrade of Prince Danithal, and her calm demeanor is a welcome counterpoint to her commander's frenetic passion. Tall, willowy and confident, she is an unshakable pillar of formidable sinew and will. On the field of battle, Selwyn's graceful wrath seems void of emotion, a whirling dance of flashing blade and crushing shield.
